ipv6: record the reason for kernel-initiated route deletions

Record why the kernel deletes an IPv6 route on its own:

- RT_DEL_REASON_EXPIRED for routes reaped by the FIB6 garbage
  collector after their RTF_EXPIRES lifetime ran out.
- RT_DEL_REASON_RA_WITHDRAWN for default routes, prefix routes and
  RFC 4191 route information routes withdrawn by a zero-lifetime
  Router Advertisement.

Deleting a default route because its metric changed is not a
withdrawal, so it keeps RT_DEL_REASON_UNSPEC.
